The Independence Hall Tea Party PAC
based in Philadelphia is urging Pennsylvania voters to vote 'No' on
retention of two Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices seeking new terms
on Nov. 5. Group Urges 'No' Vote on Retention of PA Supreme Court
Justices

The reason the group opposes Ron Castille and Max Baer
is their failure to implement Voter ID in Pennsylvania. The Voter ID law
was passed by both chambers of the Legislature and signed into law by
Gov. Tom Corbett in 2012, but the Supreme Court put the law on hold for
both the 2012 and 2013 election cycles while a lower court hears
objections filed by Democrats and the ACLU.

Castille and Baer should face the price for interfering with the will of the people, argues the tea party group.

Here is a press release issued by the group:

The
Independence Hall Tea Party PAC is urging a 'No' vote on retention of
PA Supreme Court Justices Ron Castille (R) and Max Baer (D) in Tuesday's
November 5, 2013 election due to their failure to uphold the Voter ID
law enacted by the Pennsylvania Assembly and signed by Governor Tom
Corbett (R).

"The Independence Hall Tea Party worked extremely
hard to help get Voter ID passed--beginning in November 2010," said PAC
President, Don Adams.

"We have contacted over 170 Tea Party and
Patriot groups across Pennsylvania to ask that they join us in urging
the rejection of Justices Ron Castille and Max Baer for their role in
obstructing the implementation of the Voter ID law in both the 2012 and
2013 Pennsylvania Primary and General Elections," said PAC President,
Don Adams.

According to Pennsylvania law, Chief Justice Ron
Castille, age 69, is required to retire from the Supreme Court upon his
70th birthday.

"The PAC is urging voters to give both justices an
early retirement for thwarting the will of the people and Pennsylvania
law by refusing to implement Voter ID.

"Polls consistently show
that Pennsylvanians favor Voter ID by overwhelming margins. A September
2012 Quinnipiac/NY Times/CBS Poll showed that 62% of Pennsylvanians
approve the law, while 35% oppose.

Additionally, 99% of those
interviewed stated that they possessed a state issued photo
identification and 1% did not," said Adams.

"Despite these
figures, the PA Supreme Court, with the votes of both Justices Castille
and Baer, has seen fit to obstruct Voter ID implementation in four
election cycles by twice remanding that a lower court review the law's
merit, with specific stipulations of the high court, based on a
questionable legal challenge.

"The PA Supreme Court did not even have the courage to rule on the law itself. Instead, it is hiding behind the rulings of lower court judges.

"This
is completely unacceptable behavior and the voters of Pennsylvania will
have a chance to say 'No' to the Justices who said 'No' to Voter ID."

"Undoubtedly,
Justices Castille and Baer will spend a small fortune on the retention
vote. We will be limited to word of mouth and free social media.

But since 2013 is a low turnout election year, and voters, in general, are not in a good mood, we hope to prevail.

"Secretary
Sebelius states that the Affordable Care Act, which can't produce a
functional Web site, is going to fix the 'delivery system.' Once people
get corralled into Obama-compliant health plans, doctors will be
automatically made smarter, more efficient, and less costly. She herself
must be Wonder Woman. One day, she says they really needed six years to
do the Web site, then she claims it will be fixed in only six weeks!

"Can
incompetence really be this gross? Or is the true objective being
achieved? Do they really want more uninsured people, more Medicaid
dependents, and the wreckage of both private insurance and private
medicine?

"Obama’s supporters appear to think that there is no
problem with breaking clear promises, like being able to keep your
health insurance, if you can just change the meaning to 'you can't keep
the insurance you like, but you'll be able to buy something we like for
twice the cost.'

"If Obama can rewrite the law as he likes, why
stop with delaying the employer mandate and forcing still more people
into the individual mandate? Can he go all the way to single payer, all
by himself?

"The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons
(AAPS) filed suit today to challenge Obama's violation of the
constitutional separation of powers by legislating from the White
House."

President Obama's Rose Garden press conference on the ObamaCare disaster featured a group of 13 human props, lined up on stage behind him to put a face on the alleged virtues of his health care scheme. It turns out none of them had actually purchased an ObamaCare insurance plan, and only three of them had even completed the application process.

What a perfect summary of the disastrous incompetence and fundamental dishonesty of Barack Obama's "signature achievement!" Three weeks in, his gigantic political team couldn't find any actual "happy customers." They had to settle for a couple of people who look forward to maybe doing some shopping on the exchanges one of these days. They might not like what they find, assuming they can cudgel anything but a stream of error messages from the system.

Enjoy a visit to Greece without leaving Berks County when the
43rd annual Greek Food Bazaar returns Oct. 18-19-20 at Sts. Constantine
& Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Reading, Pa.

In addition to authentic Greek food and pastry, the three-day festival
features live music, dancing, gift rooms and church tours.

The food is prepared and cooked on the premises by church members using
family recipes handed down through generations. All food items are
available to eat-in in or take-out.

Athenian-style chicken platters, which comes with pastitsio or rice
pilaf, Greek-style string beans, a Greek salad, roll and butter for $12
will be offered all weekend in the main dining hall. You can substitute
plaki (fresh fish fillet baked with vegetables, herbs and wine) or
souvlaki (chunks of marinated pork) on the platter meal.

After a hearty meal, there’s plenty to see and do on the church grounds.
The Agora (Greek market) offers packaged Greek foods and prepared
dishes to go. The Kafenio (Greek coffee house) features fresh-brewed
Greek-style coffee, rice pudding and pastries in a relaxed atmosphere.

Visitors can also shop for original artwork, gold jewelry and items imported from Greece in various gift rooms.

A popular stop for all visitors is the pastry room, where you can sample
baklava (almonds, butter and honey layered in flaky pastry), teelikta
(walnuts, butter and honey rolled in flaky pastry); kourabiethes (butter
cookies topped with powdered sugar);, koulourakia (Greek twisted butter
cookie); and galaktobouriko (a filo pastry filled with custard and
moistened with honey syrup).

Another Greek delicacy offered throughout the weekend is loukoumades
(puffed honey balls), a warm, dough pastry topped with honey, cinnamon
and chopped nuts.

Bazaar hours are noon to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m.
on Sunday. Admission and parking are free. Additional parking across the
street at Berks Catholic High School. The event will be held rain or
shine.

The church is located at 1001 E. Wyomissing Blvd., about one mile from
Business Route 222 South (also known as Lancaster Avenue).

The EBT Debit Card System, the
government program for food stamps, crashes across the country on a
Saturday, the busiest grocery shopping day of the week, during a
government shutdown in which Obama ordered his minions to make the lives
of Americans as painful as possible.

And you don't think Obama is behind the whole thing?

The initial shutdown was reported on Friday in 10 states, but it appears to have spread to more states Saturday. The lucrative EBT program is managed by JP Morgan Chase, a major contributor to the Obama campaign. The company blamed the problem on a computer glitch, but here we are 24 hours later and JP Morgan hasn't fixed the "glitch." Sounds a lot like the Obamacare health exchange website glitch, doesn't it?

The
Electronic Benefits Transfer system managed by JP Morgan Chase crashed
on Friday, leaving millions of recipients of the benefits in ten states
without a way to put food on the table.
Bank officials said that the outage affected EBT recipients
in Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, Indiana,
Kentucky, Connecticut, West Virginia, Delaware. It also hit the U.S.
Virgin Islands.

If
you don't think Obama's fingerprints are all over this, you're probably
one of those low-information voters still waiting for hope and change.

So
millions of Americans who depend on the government for food can't get
any groceries but we're about to turn over our health care system to the
same people who run the food stamp program? What could possibly go
wrong?

As
a Pennsylvania resident, I wasn't aware there was a pressing need to
raise the state's maximum speed limit from 65 mph to 70 mph, but Senate
President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson) is pushing a bill to do
just that.

In reality, most Pennsylvania drivers do at
least 70 mph on most of the state's highways, so I'm not sure what the
harm would be to raising the speed limit.

Also keep in
mind that Scarnati represents one of the most rural legislative
districts in Pennsylvania, one that has few police officers patrolling
interstate highways, so I'm sure people are already doing a lot more
than 70 mph.

On the other hand, is this really the most
pressing issue facing Pennsylvania residents or is this another
legislator looking for something to keep himself busy with instead of
tackling real issues?

Scarnati
issued the following statement regarding his proposal to increase the maximum
speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania
Turnpike:

Today I have circulated a co-sponsorship
memo for legislation I intend to introduce which would increase the maximum
speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania Turnpike
from 65 to 70 miles per hour.

Increasing Pennsylvania’s maximum speed limit on
interstate highways and the PA Turnpike will allow for better traffic flow and
provide for greater efficiency in the delivery of goods throughout the
Commonwealth. Numerous other states have already taken the step to allow
for traveling at a maximum speed of 70 MPH or more.

Over the last two decades since Pennsylvania’s maximum
speed limit was last set, our vehicles have become more technically efficient
and safety standards have continued to increase. As we move forward with
this measure a significant component of the legislation will focus on ensuring
necessary traffic and engineering studies are completed prior to increasing the
speed limit on any stretch of highway.

The Associated Press, a left-leaning news organization that no longer
pretends to hide its political bias, conducted one of its periodic
polls of President Obama's job approval. The results? Just 37 percent of
Americans approve of the job Obama is doing. So how does the AP report
Obama's stunning decline in popularity? By burying the news in the
eighth paragraph of the story, of course.

That's right.
The wire service manages to hide the biggest news in its own poll deep
inside the story. You had to wade through seven long paragraphs of
superfluous information to get to the real news in the poll. That, my
friends, is what is know as liberal media bias.

Somebody just put down the Kool-Aid and came to her senses. Congratulations Ashley Dionne on the wake-up call. Too bad so many "Obama Youth" are still living in fantasyland despite 5 years of failure by Obama.

It's not just street drugs that are killing people. The ones doctors prescribe are just as deadly. A new report ranks Pennsylvania 14th in the nation in prescription drug abuse. Prescription drug overdoses are up nearly 90 percent in Pennsylvania since 1999.
